Leonardo García-Alarcón received the 2025 ICMA “Artist of the Year” Award.
” Leonardo García-Alarcón, although born near the Río de la Plata in Buenos Aires, has demonstrated throughout his artistic career a particular affinity for music composed in southern Europe from the late Renaissance to the dawn of Classicism, so much so that he named his ensemble Cappella Mediterranea. With this ensemble, he has demonstrated over the past decade a versatility and fertile imagination that, program after program, never ceases to surprise and captivate his audience. “ — Rémy Franck, president of the awards ceremony
Diot-Siaci, a long-time patron of the ensemble, attended the award ceremony honoring all of Cappella Mediterranea’s patrons and partners, who are essential to the realization of its artistic projects.
At the awards ceremony on March 19, 2025, Leonardo García-Alarcón conducted the Düsseldorfer Symphoniker in the magnificent Tonhalle Düsseldorf in a performance of the overture to Handel’s Music for the Royal Fireworks.
